Crawford on Brown

``He knows where he's going to be for the foreseeable future. He’s going to be a big part of the Kings, part of our core. You look at the type of player he is, he plays sizeable minutes because he plays in the power play, kills penalties and plays a prominent role on one of our top llines. He also plays a power game. We don’t have a lot of guys who play a power game. I understand why Dean felt so strong about getting him tied up, because he does do so many good things for us. He won't change his game because he got a long-term contract. He only knows one way to play and that’s pretty straight forward and pretty robust.''

``I think he’s still got some improvement to do. The improvement you see from players like Dustin is that they start to analyze the game a little more and analyze it a little quicker. You see Cammalleri, Kopitar and Fro, they’ll sit on bench now and they’ll dissect what the opposition is doing and try to make mini adjustments with each other. For me, that ends up being a huge step for a player. When they start to get to the point where they dissect while the game is going on, it means they have great deal of confidence and they're looking at game at a different level.''
